“We are really excited by the interest that was created by the mash-up – and we are keen to build on the new relationships it helped to initiate.“
Andy Taylor
Head of Marketing and sales | Infogroup/UK
The challenge:
Info/UK had rebranded to become Infogroup/UK and needed to raise awareness of its new name and its expanded capabilities
The company wanted to showcase its expertise in integrating email marketing campaigns with social media, blogs and the whole digital marketing armoury
“I’ve had a lot of Twitter response from people commenting on how interesting the #tfma twitter feed was to follow, as well as colleagues who didn’t attend the show but loved following the give-aways. It’s a very exciting concept and one that I’m sure will help TFM&A go from strength to strength.“
Lydia Simpson
Marketing Assistant | TFM&A
